#ma wang

Ma Wang hadn't started Lucifer Entertainment (or any of his previous ventures for that matter) with the goal of actually helping anyone out in particular other than Princess Iron Fan ultimately. The various GOOD DEEDS were more of a side-effect of the ultimate mission to bring the love of his life's punishment to an END.

Even with that being the case, though...his existence wasn't an isolated one, and perhaps living and working around so many humans and other various beings had made him more sentimental than he once was. Whatever the reason, the Bull King had found that he felt increasingly HEALED with every lost soul he managed to salvage.

Having heard about the kumiho's plight and their OWN personal mission to become more than they once were...it was impossible to not feel a tug at the heartstrings. After presenting A-Yeong with the contract, he hadn't expected much polite gratitude...but there it was. A question like that warranted an answer.

"Ah, well..." he considered his words, leaning back in his office chair briefly as his glance briefly moved up and he gathered his full thoughts on the matter, "I do not, and probably will never truly understand a desire to become HUMAN..."

He paused, leaning forward once more in his chair and resting his elbows on his desk.

"...but I DO know passion, and I know the ways in which it differs from a FRIVOLOUS WANT. A passion keeps you awake at night, leaves you feeling hollow every second until you reach your dream. When I look at you, when I hear you speaking about the dream you have..." The CEO suddenly gripped his chest with his left hand, as though he'd been struck with something, "it...TOUCHES MY HEART."

Allowing his hand to fall away from his chest, he rested it on the desk while his other hand lifted with a thumb stuck upward approvingly.

"So...I can see that you are someone to BELIEVE IN...because you're going to be giving it your all." He paused briefly, lowering his hand to the desk and arching a brow with a small tilt of his head.

"You will give it your all...right?"

He had JUST walked through the door, hadn't even managed to get his coat off yet, when he was being greeted with a grievance within his office. A grievance in the form of two souls that inhabited ONE BODY, so that in itself made any solution to any problems...at least a little complicated.

Ma Wang took a deep break as he removed his gloves, exhaling through his nose as he removed his scarf next, and finally his coat, before hanging the articles up and away.

With that, he made his way over to his desk, still not speaking a word until he was sat down with his hands folded in front of him. His brows arched, and his head tilted just slightly as his eyes narrowed in slight irritation.

"Most people greet their CEOs with something other than demands...besides, what is so wrong with the set list?"

The sudden presence of someone irate within his home was nothing unusual when it came to his more FAMILIAR COMPANIONS, but that didn't spare Ma-Wang the ANNOYANCE that it still caused every time. Having been in the midst of reviewing a few new contracts that he'd just drawn up, P.K.'s intrusion was acting as a DIRECT HINDERANCE to his business.

Par for the course.

Whatever complaint the Pig had, it couldn't have been urgent enough to warrant this. Beyond that, Ma-Wang knew a thing or two about what was FAIR, as he had plenty of an idea of what INJUSTICE felt like.

"Ohh, so COMPLETELY UNFAIR," he retorted with a mocking whine to his voice, before a hearty GUFFAW seemed to echo through the entire penthouse. "Poor, mistreated, P.K., how ever do you endure the crowds of adoring fans, the private club bookings, the massive corporate sponsorships, and all of the energy beads you can stomach?!"

Scoffing, he rolled his eyes before his eyes fell back to the papers on his desk in front of him, though he still spoke to the idol even as his gaze was elsewhere.

"What in the TEN HELLS could be so TRAGIC that you feel entitled to burst into my home as if its your own?! Surely you must have more pressing matters than some childish whining..." He pressed his signature stamp to a few papers before setting them aside. "I know that I HAVE more important things to worry about, like the three new contracts that I'm drawing up for a boyband in the making. Or, re-making."

WOO MA-WANG & LEE TAE GANG FATHER AND SON REUNITED!
